[Endoscopic diagnosis of the temporomandibular joint].
Clinical and radiographic examinations of the temporo-mandibular joint are difficult to perform. Alternative diagnostic methods, for example, double contrast arthrotomography, computerized tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and arthroscopy raise hopes for improved diagnostic accuracy. The purpose of this paper is to review and evaluate the potentials and limitations of this new technique.
